Day 22: Weigh Day

I am pleased to announce a successful weigh day. I lost 2 pounds last week bringing my total to 3 pounds lost so far. Yay me!!! I'm averaging 1 pound per week which is pretty good. It's going to be slow and steady but that's the way to do it. Hopefully I will be able to keep it off that way.

More big news today. I did my workout as usual but today I mixed it up a little. Starting at the 15 minute mark I jogged for a minute every 5 minutes. I jogged a total of 6 minutes out of my 50 minute workout. I know, 1 minute at a time doesn't seem like very much to the average Joe, but for me that was really pushing myself. I'm pretty proud for it. I think I'll try it every day this week. It helps break the workout up a little more too. Oh, and I also stepped up my pace to 4.3 instead of 4. In 50 minutes I did 3.27 miles and 415 calories. Woohoo!

I did well on my diet today despite the fact that Grandpa brought home 8 giant cinnamon buns that look SOOOO tempting. I've managed to resist thus far. Hopefully they will be gone by the morning. I found myself craving vegetables again today. At dinner time Corey and I were fighting over the last of the Caesar salad! Wow, maybe I'm wearing off on him now too! Anyway, here's what I ate today:

BREAKFAST:
-lo-carb strawberry yogurt
-1 apple

LUNCH:
-leftover pork chop
-leftover green beans

DINNER:
-steak
-small spoonful of corn
-Caesar salad
